Badge of TruthSummary: Anna stitches a handmade coat for her eleven-year-old daughter, Abigail. In excitement, Abigail puts it on and embraces her mama with a hug and kiss. Anna then asks her to put away the sewing materials. As Abigail placed them in the basket, her eyes stumble across a Jewish badge tucked away between some old fabric. In curiosity, she takes it out and shows it to her mama, as she has never seen it before. Anna's heart skips a beat while struggling to tell Abigail about the Holocaust and her birth parents. Tearfully, Abigail asks her in a low, almost muted voice if she would kindly sew it onto her winter coat. Reluctantly, she agrees. The coat brings many intriguing stories and tales as Abigail and her best friend Rachel journey through their little coal-mining town.
